Comparative performance of invasive alien Eichhornia crassipes and native Ludwigia stolonifera under non-limiting nutrient conditions in Lake Naivasha, Kenya
(Hydrobiologia, 2010-09)
The ability of Ludwigia stolonifera to thrive in the presence of Eichhornia crassipes was
investigated in Lake Naivasha, Kenya. L. stolonifera (indigenous) and E. crassipes (invasive alien) were grown in outdoor experimental ...
Competitive abilities of invasive Lagarosiphon major and native Ceratophyllum demersum in monocultures and mixed cultures in relation to experimental sediment dredging
(Aquatic Botany, 2011-06)
Competitive abilities of Lagarosiphon major (Ridley) Moss (invasive in Belgium) and native Ceratophyllum demersum L. were assessed experimentally in relation to sediment dredging. We mimicked these conditions by taking ...

SWEA (agricultural use and vulnerability of small wetlands in East Africa) is a multidisciplinary project which task is to
evaluate the effects of land use on the ecological and socio-economical functions of small wetlands ...
Competition between Lemna minuta and Lemna minor at different nutrient concentrations
(Plant Biology and Nature Management (APNA) Elsevier, 2011-02)
We investigated the differential responses of invasive alien Lemna minuta and native Lemna minor to
nutrient loading as well as the mechanism of competition between the species. The role of nutrients,
species identity, ...
